The IHBC is co-sponsoring the ‘CLAYFEST!’ a spectacular week-long celebration of ‘The culture of earth building’ which offers a diverse programme of events around Errol, Perthshire, from 8-13 June 2015 and new details are now available online, including the main flier with event sponsors.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘This is a great opportunity for members of the institute to develop their skills on the practice and conservation of earth building. For many people this practice is at once the most historic and the most progressive of construction practices, so it offers a particularly resonant topic for the IHBC to help promote and sponsor’.
Programme highlights include:
- Rammed Earth Workshop A one-day complete introduction to rammed earth
- Cob Introductory Workshop
- INSIGHT into Mudwall Conservation
- Clay Plaster Workshops
- Advanced Clay Plaster
- Turf Building Workshop
